Tangential Tuesday
Or something like that.
Inspired by @alexanderlightweight's "Writing Wednesday" and my magpie brain being even more dysfunctional than usual of late, I am opening up my askbox for requests! With the usual caveat that whatever I come up with may bear very little resemblance to whatever you thought you had in mind ;)
I am accepting:
Writing Prompts! (You may cruise my #prompt requests tag for ideas if you'd like, just be sure to tell me which meme if applicable.) If you're a relatively recent follower/lurker my writing tag is #jilly writes and my ao3 is here.
Omegaverse Prompts for @knotinmyname's Anti-AI event June 12-16
Lore/worldbuilding questions/headcanons
Podfic requests (Fic under 2.5k words only please, as I am too rusty to figure out multiple chapters at this point.) My fic or anyone else's is fair game; if the author doesn't have a blanket permission statement I'll ask them discreetly before I record anything, and if I can't get permission I'll let you know.
Primary Fandoms:
Shadowhunters (TV): I tend to write Malec, and I probably won't write either Alec or Magnus with someone else, but I enjoy the entire extended cast so feel free to go wild.
BioWare: Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Jade Empire
I have however written the occasional meta & fic or podficced everything from Heyer Regency Novels to Stranger Things to Firefly/Serenity to Ladyhawke to Code Realize to Choice of Romance to SDV to 7kpp... so if you've got an idea for something else, feel free to ask! Especially if you've ever seen my reblog it. If I can't come up with anything I'll let you know.
And I'll try and make a slightly more coherent post next week, but if I wait for that I'll never start :D
#tangential tuesday#that's a ref to my old blog title#for anyone who knew me 10-13 years ago#yes I've been on tumblr that long#you'd think I'd have a better idea what I was doing by now?#and yet#jilly spam

🌍🏆💡 for the reader asks!
For this meme.
🌍 What is your dream AU?
I feel like people who follow me on Tumblr must know this already, but I would be delighted if for every Omegaverse fic there was another AU that just went absolutely ham on misinterpreting and sexualizing non-wolf animal behavior. It doesn't even have to be a queen bee AU. Just a million fics that are nothing but thinly veiled excuses to blather about weird animal reproduction facts.
🏆 What do you wish more authors in your fandom would write about?
Right now I'm only actively writing in two fandoms, 7KPP and Skyrim. Skyrim fandom has literally thousands of fics and has reached an "everything has been done" stage where people either write the same things over or get really weird with it. I like the weird stage because unpredictable things happen. I wish for every writer to feel comfortable getting as weird as their little hearts desire.
On a more mundane note, sometimes I feel like the way people write about the civil war is strongly influenced by the obnoxious debates about it in the fandom. I always like it when people write about the factions from a perspective that doesn't seek to defend or justify them. "Make your faces look bad", basically.
For 7KPP, it's a tiny fandom, so I'm ecstatic every time I see a fic that revolves around the NPCs and not the MC.
��� Tell me a headcanon (and who you wish would write it)?
I had to think about this hard because I tend to get so involved in my (major) headcanons that I forget they're not properly canon. Like, when I integrate my perception of out-of-universe factors, I legit forget that it hasn't been confirmed anywhere that the Empire is about to fall apart. It's just that all the clues point to it, and it's thematically consistent, and it has such high potential for storytelling chaos, and setting ESO during the interregnum almost feels like foreshadowing, and...
Anyway, I'd love to see some of the fandom writers who gravitate towards "big picture" stories take on a radical redrawing of Tamriel's political map. Provinces getting broken down and new borders forming. New political powers rising to fill the power vacuum. Independence of the Reach. A new Empire, not centered on Cyrodiil. Argonian ascendancy. A new world order, reshuffled completely from previous expectations.
Print out a B&W map of Tamriel, break out your crayons, and go absolutely hog wild.

Spoiler!
Right this second I’m writing a story for an anthology submission, about twin sisters who are both dealing with the fallout of a failed heist.
But fandom wise, I have a TON of spoilers for you!
For Kirkwall Tech, Melissa runs away and Sebastian runs after her.
I started writing the follow up to Wise Deceit, and it’s called Wedding Guess. I kinda love that title. It had Leliana in it.
For 7kpp I did a bingo board, and started writing some of the stories. One of my fave is irrational Lyon must apologize and cannot write a letter for this one.
Also Zarad is the prude in the relationship with his pirate wife Kyara, and it shows.
And looking through my short fic wip doc showed me a really promising mass effect story about Mia and Zaeed, that starts out with Zaeed proclaiming his love of wild women.
Pray for me to finish most of these this year! :P

Blue sent me 10 and 11 from 7KPP meme, I’ve made myself suffer.
10. Parents - Hise – Wellindad
Mmm, I will confess to not have put much thought into it.
Wellindad is called Charles, but pirate mom called him Charlie. Lord Charles was the second son of a count in Wellin(the count of Holt, what? No, not at all :P), but growing up believing that his brother would inherit his father’s land, Charles never much cared to learn about a lord’s duties and responsibility, choosing instead to travel the nations.
He met Captain Blackthorn in one of those travels when his ship was raided and he was taken as her prisoner for ransom. His witty nature and herb knowledge ended up getting him a spot on her ship and later they fell for one another.
After his father died, Charles ran away with Blackthorn to Hise where they had their daughter, Neema.
Few things about Wellindad:
- He couldn’t hold his alcohol before starting to travel with Blackthorn’s crew;
- Drunk Charles is best Charles;
- He is totally a crying drunk, because he just spills his anxieties and starts sobbing;
- But he is also way more loose;
- When his brother died, Charles refused to go back to Wellin, he doesn’t know what became of his father’s lands;
- He suffers from panic attack quite frequently when he doesn’t get any news about Blackthorn’s travels(mostly because both his father, brother and mother died when he wasn’t around, so he is scared it will happen again);
- Knows a lot about medicinal herbs;
- Makes great tea(and also cooks really well);
- Even though, he has been living in Hise for so many years a little bit of Wellin lord posture stays with him
11. Parents – Jiyel
These guys are awesome, they loved their daughter so much. Yoshiko and Isamu
Yoshiko and Lord Isamu married young, through a match arranged by their parents. Yoshiko was a merchant’s only daughter and Isamu the heir to a nearly bankrupt noble family.
Aki’s mom, as far as she could remember, was always kind and creative. She used to read books to her daughter, making funny voices and interacting with Aki while reading stories about dragons, princess and princes. When Aki was a little older and started studying history, she questioned her mom on why the stories didn’t have any female heroes, so her mother just made up stories.
Yoshiko would stay up after dark studying historical texts to make her stories as historically accurate as possible, as her daughter’s eyes would always light up when she made an obscure historical reference and Yoshiko wouldn’t trade it for the world.
She was a very artistic woman and talented as well. Her paintings were exposed on galleries under a false alias. Yoshiko encouraged her daughter’s musical interests.
Lord Isamu, Aki’s father, was a very loving father but also extremely hard working, sometimes losing himself in financial reports or his work. Managing the estate and a government job were never easy for him, but he always managed to sneak some quality father and daughter time. As a history enthusiast, he and Aki would frequently quiz each other. When she got older, Aki would drop questions throughout the day to her father that he would answer and send another question. It quickly became a little tradition between them.
Her parents died on a carriage accident of a hill. Aki was sent to live with her father’s brother who inherited Isamu’s estate. Thankfully, she was close to them, but it wasn’t the same, they weren’t her parents. No more bed time historically accurate stories, no more history surprise quizzes.
She misses her parents a lot.
NO MC WILL HAVE A HAPPY BACKSTORY >:3

Extremely detailed OC asks time!! For, like, *everyone* #1 (because I love me some zodiac shenanigans). For 7kpp Mc's of your choice as you see fit: 5,6, 18, 21, 22, 39, 46, 53 (feel free to answer with non-7kpp characters too if they're better suited!! I'm nosy!)
EEE THANK YOU! :D
(Also, I kind of wrote a novel. But it was fun! :D)
(questions list here)
SWtOR
My Jedi Consular Hylira is probably a Scorpio, honestly. I wanted to say ‘Libra,’ but like, no. She’s far too decisive to be a Libra. And she’s absolutely got the intensity even though she’s 5’ tall, and the ability to draw people together (which is one of the reasons she’s the one I picked to be my canonical Commander). Also, she can be VINDICTIVE AS FUCK and that is a very Scorpio trait.
My Sith Warrior Ashedan is a Cancer. He is Full of Feelings at all times. Because he’s Sith, sometimes the feeling in question is rage and someone dies. Other feelings are usually covered with a layer of bitter snark for his own protection. But he’s capable of really remarkable devotion to the people he loves. All three of them. (But his sister, Vette, and Jaesa all know he can be relied upon to make them tea and defend them with his life.)
My Jedi Knight Tash'saarai is an Ares. She is such an Ares. Leaping before she looks and fighting for what she believes in are DEFINING CHARACTER TRAITS for her. She’s impulsive and energetic, and I suspect a lot of the people she saves would describe her as heroic and inspiring even if most of the Order would describe her as 'a headache.’
Bounty Hunter Ve'ris'syan is probably a Sagittarius - she’s fearless and adventurous and LOVES new challenges - but an argument could definitely be made for Capricorn, too, because she’s also patient, ambitious, and traditional. I guess I’d put her on the cusp.
My Cipher Ionavyr is probably a Virgo. She’s very thinky, and she’s also good at that Virgo thing where they put this outward butter-wouldn’t-melt mask over all the thinking that can fool people into dismissing them as kind of compulsive. Under that, she’s detail-oriented, observant, and analytical enough to USE that gathered information. Usually for not very nice ends, 'cause, y'know, Empire. In this case, Virgo’s service-oriented nature was not a good thing because of HOW and WHAT she ended up serving. Fortunately for her, she eventually meets Vector and he’s a good morality pet and lets her be her very best self.

Pillars of Eternity
Thenali … I wanted to say Pisces, because she’s a CLERIC and she’s sweet and intuitive and compassionate, but… I don’t think she has the low swings for it. I think, given the Explorer background and the way she’s got wanderlust and likes chasing new horizons, Sagittarius might fit better. Also, the stereotype about Sagittarius being 'honest to a fault’ fits her pretty well - she’s Eothasian and DOES NOT LIE, so like. She’ll try not to hurt any feelings? But she’s gonna tell the truth.
Aulikahi is a Scorpio. None of the other signs can amp Intensity up to 11 in quite the same way a Scorpio can. (She glared people into submission like, a lot.)
—
Dragon Age
Hestrel Mahariel is probably a Cancer; she’s VERY loyal, moody, and clingy, and she wants to take care of the people she cares about, and this is why her worldstate should have ended in a NSGO where she used the Ashes on Tamlen and the Blight proceeded to eat Ferelden.
Eleina Tabris is the angriest Libra you have ever met, because EVERYTHING AROUND HER is CONSTANT injustice. She basically wants to kill people all the time. And then she repaints the Arl’s house. So, y'know. But like, the rest of the time, she was probably trying to help her dad make their house pretty, and loved telling stories to the alienage children, and usually sang while she was working, on those occasions when 'working’ did not involve petty theft.
Rowena Hawke is a Virgo. She wants to help! She gives very good advice. She wants things to be organized and nice. Her city is on fire and her family is dead and nothing is remotely okay.
Ameneth Lavellan is probably an Aquarius; she sometimes comes across as aloof and unsentimental but feels deeply and profoundly and wants to Fix Everything. Also, that thing where Aquarius folks manage to be both Peak Individualist and also Team Players? That’s very Am. Also, the futurist bit; like, she LOVES learning about the past, loves learning in general - but she really leans into growth and change.
—
Wayhaven
Genevieve Layton is, like the majority of my first-playthrough characters, absolutely a Libra. She has weapons-grade people skills and is The Sweetest Creampuff.
Winter Caffrey is probably an Ares, tbh. She needs attention to live, instigates shit because she can, and is the definition of 'I’ll kick anybody’s ass.’ If she never gets to spar with Mason I may cry, because him throwing her across the room would make her laugh with sheer unmitigated DELIGHT as long as she didn’t break anything on impact.
—
7KPP
Calanthia is a Libra because every now and again I have to make a character who is a sister to all the fantasy self-inserts I made as a child, by which I mean 'Me But Better In Every Way.’ So she gets the Real Libra Traits of Supernatural Charm and Being A Social Butterfly, both of which I lack, and also all the others, like being terrible at advance planning and organization, always trying to weigh all the options, and being sincerely committed to Doing The Right Thing.5. Height and body type: Tall and willowy, average-to-thin.21. Fave food(s) and drink(s): Anthy likes herbal tea Very Much, and usually has at least one cup sitting around nearby going cold. She also really loves fruit, because her childhood home was in a remote and rocky part of the country where fruit trees didn’t do well, and they usually weren’t flush enough to afford anything imported.22: Fave color: Purple!39. Your character walks into a cafe. What do they order? Either herbal tea or hot chocolate, and a scone.53. Expectations vs Reality: what did you expect and what did you get with this character? I mean, I picked 'Katyia’s Legacy,’ I knew what I was getting into with that.
Valeriya is an Aquarius, because she is the most misanthropic humanitarian. She wants to save the world and everyone thinks she’s cold and scary and possibly planning murder. (To be fair; she does indulge in thoughts about how EASY it would be to solve problems if she lost all her morals.)5. Height and body type: So Tall. She’s taller than several of the men, because I made her as tall as me. Also pretty curvy, because one of the very few perks of her marriage was that she got consistent access to food.6. Headcanon VA: Valya is a baby but I still REALLY wanna say Gina Torres.21. Fave food(s) and drink(s): She loves things with flavor, especially savory and rich things. 22: Fave color: not one in particular, but she’s a fan of Bright. She didn’t mind wearing her mourning red at ALL. Also it looked stunning on her.39. Your character walks into a cafe. What do they order?Spiced hot chocolate made with whole milk, which she then drinks for like 40 minutes, taking little tiny sips and then waiting long enough between them that the next one is a fresh delight.46. If this character was in a musical, what would their motif be (what kind of instruments do you hear, what’s the tempo, ect).Probably a very spare sort of piano, so I can make Lyon’s a violin and give them these really complicated interweaving melodies so they can have duets in spite of the fact that both characters refuse to sing - Valya with others and Lyon at all.53. Expectations vs Reality: what did you expect and what did you get with this character? I created Valya because I was checking all the final dates with Anthy (she unlocks everyone) and Lyon’s for a Widow just STRAIGHT-UP MURDERED ME. And then I was checking how morally ambiguous a Widow could be while still being on his path. And then I made her an introvert, because Anthy is decidedly not introverted, and it actually changes the whole feel of the game even though build-wise, the two of them are basically identical.
Safiye is a Leo; she has a giant heart and loves to be the center of attention. Also, she desperately, DESPERATELY needs to be liked, to the point that the assassination attempt(s) don’t so much scare her as hurt her feelings.5. Height and body type: medium height, wiry-to-muscular.18. Have any special keepsakes? Lots! Her scarf was a present from her first girlfriend (they’re still friends), and she has bracelets and other bits of shine or color that were gifts from people she loves who saw something loudly bright and thought, 'that looks like Fii.’21. Fave food(s) and drink(s): Fruit juice tastes like home and is also delicious.22: Fave color: ALL OF THEM. Possibly at the same time.39. Your character walks into a cafe. What do they order? She spends five minutes off to one side staring at the board and still changes her order twice while she’s in line, then orders an Irish coffee, two biscotti, and a cookie46. If this character was in a musical, what would their motif be (what kind of instruments do you hear, what’s the tempo, ect). There’s definitely at least one brass instrument involved and honestly one might be a tuba. What even is this character?53. Expectations vs Reality: what did you expect and what did you get with this character? Safiye was my attempt to make a character who could Actually Do Things after my first effort - a Scholar - failed at almost everything.
Nisha is probably a Gemini - she’s very comfortable wearing masks and is usually thinking six different things at once, while somehow still managing to be charming.5. Height and body type: medium-short, roundish and soft.18. Have any special keepsakes? I suspect she’s got several things from her mother and one of them is probably something that looks like a pretty perfume locket - and is, in fact, also a pretty perfume locket - but which also has decorative enamel she can scratch off which becomes a virtually tasteless sedative in any kind of liquid. It’s definitely not poison and it doesn’t have any adverse effects; it’s just meant to put belligerent company into a less hostile frame of mind.21. Fave food(s) and drink(s): Nisha loves sweets. Dried dates are an especial favorite because she gets less judgment for those and they’re finger food and they keep and she can usually sneak a few along as a snack no matter where she’s going. So they’re basically perfect!22: Fave color: Nisha is partial to warm tones - reds, yellows, oranges.39. Your character walks into a cafe. What do they order? Baklava and a very fussy drink with whipped cream on top.46. If this character was in a musical, what would their motif be (what kind of instruments do you hear, what’s the tempo, ect).I’m pretty sure there’s a hurdy gurdy involved in her 'Nisha is Plotting Something (Blain will not like it)’ motif.53. Expectations vs Reality: what did you expect and what did you get with this character? I was trying to make a Court Lady I liked and the first few didn’t stick, but Nisha is so eager to be pleased and DELIGHTED to be meeting new people that she’s a lot of fun to follow around in the game.
Cadence is a Pisces; a compassionate dreamer who usually feels like she’s in over her head.5. Height and body type: small, skinny, little whisp of a thing, mostly hair, looks like she might blow away on the wind like a piece of dandilion fluff.18. Have any special keepsakes? She has two gowns with embroidered panels taken from old gowns of Constance’s which are too shabby to bring to the Summit but come with her anyway.21. Fave food(s) and drink(s): I suspect she has undiagnosed food allergies and just thinks she hates food. She does like simple broth-soups and teas and tisanes, because none of them make her feel icky.22: Fave color: Blue-green.39. Your character walks into a cafe. What do they order? Tea and a glass of water. She tips more than the order costs.46. If this character was in a musical, what would their motif be (what kind of instruments do you hear, what’s the tempo, ect). She sings mostly acapella at first, with just a little flute as her musical motif, but she gets a few more woodwinds as she goes along.53. Expectations vs Reality: what did you expect and what did you get with this character? I was trying to make a functional princess, and given Avalie does not EAT her, I think I succeeded! We’ll see how she does when/if bonuses are added. :D
Demetria… might very well be a Taurus. She would have been perfectly happy staying in her nice comfortable routine at home, taking care of Holt and its people, if the monarchy hadn’t pried her out with a crowbar and thrown her at the Summit. She likes nice things, she’s loyal to a fault, and she’s stubborn. Yeah, probably a Taurus.5. Height and body type: medium, athletic.18. Have any special keepsakes? Several of her father’s most treasured and least financially valuable possessions, but also Holt as a whole.21. Fave food(s) and drink(s): Vegetables with butter. Roasted meat.22: Fave color: Brown, partly because it’s unfashionable and she is determinedly unfashionable, but also because it doesn’t show dirt as much as some of the other options.39. Your character walks into a cafe. What do they order? A roast beef sandwich and the largest serving of chai they will consent to sell her.53. Expectations vs Reality: what did you expect and what did you get with this character? Persuasion Countess is decidedly sub-optimal but also really entertaining when paired with Zarad. God, they’re such disasters.

OC Care Package
Tagged by @aphreal42 for a meme I have never seen before but sounds SO FUN.
A rift opens in spacetime, connecting you to your character/muse. It’s just big enough for you to send a small care package through–nothing that’ll alter the course of their path (it’s very arbitrary magic, so spoilers on what to do next and other win buttons will get fried), but enough to let them know that they’re loved and can have nice things. [For those who like more precise parameters - the rift will remain open indefinitely until you can fill the package and will seal once you pass it through, but you can’t interact with it in any other way.] What do you place in the package?
In case you’ve somehow missed it, I’ve been on a super 7KPP kick these days, so I’m gonna go with my main MC, Camellia.
A large container of fresh tea leaves
As many books as will fit, both fiction and nonfiction (and definitely Pride and Prejudice, to share)
Also a book of sudoku puzzles
And a collection of nice bookmarks
White rabbit candies
A small notepad and pencil
Some hairties and clips
Enough pastries to share with friends and her giant of a duke who often forgets to eat
A jump rope and/or a hacky sack with a reminder note to go out and have fun every once in a while
This was super fun, thanks! Let’s tag @voidnoodles, @inquisitorhotpants, and @riajade01!

Since @quilleth gave me the BAREST excuse, Michi and Lyon. The meme in question and if you read this and think “golly gee, I’d love to give you an opportunity to chat more about other people” I have a shiny new character page you could reference here.
who’s the werewolf and who’s the hunter
Werewolf Lyon and Hunter Michi 100%. Firstly, werewolf Michi is too obvious, there wouldn’t be a single hint of mystery around that, secondly, I don’t think you’d ever get Lyon to go traipsing around the forest without a curse to turn into a canine of varyingly levels of homicidal. Also also, Lyon as the weirdo who lives on a fancy house on the hill is Such A Thing don’t @ me. His status as local cryptid just due to being an asocial loner would already make him seem TOO obvious and he’s so stuffy and not outsidey.
Anyhow, the locals scrounge up money to hire a hunter and they get Michi who is maybe in a duo with Ana bc the ship is no longer sailing but Lyon having to put up with both of them is HILARIOUS. There’s been signs of a werewolf about, but no attacks yet so Michi and Ana get on the case and there’s mystery and flirtations and Ana seducing sheltered farm girls to their mothers’ chagrin. Lyon it turns out has been a werewolf for ages, and either spends all his time napping the basement OR has been going out lately because some else has moved into the are and he’s protecting the town. Or both – used to be a basement dweller but Ethical Duties Make Demands.
Extra fun thought, werewolves are hella old and Lyon’s the last head of the no defunct noble family who owned this land before Whereverlandia turned into a republic, and he still feels it’s his duty to protect his people despite the times having changed.
who’s the mermaid and who’s the fisherman
I don’t think I can get Lyon on a boat without some real shenanigans afoot, and I feel like if he were a merman he’d be one of those weirdo deep sea ones who never comes up for air ever. So, invoking asocial loner Lyon again, maybe he rents a place on a Suitably Dramatic Coastline and the only person he ever sees is this weirdo lady who claims to be a local except the closest locality is like, forty minutes down the coast by car and there’s never any boats around. She pesters Lyon and generally forces him to leave his house. There’s a cute scene involving a tidal pool.
Anyway, eventually she gets outed as a Man Eating Mermaid except Michi’s a VEGETARIAN these days she’ll have you know. Once Lyon stops being mad that she exists and has upset his understanding of the world, it’s all smooth sailing. It’s a story about scientific classifications of fish and the healing nature of two lonely people finding ways to make room for one another.
who’s the witch and who’s the familiar
Witch Lyon, it was an experiment, no one was supposed to be summoned and oh God what do you mean he can’t unsummon her until the next full moon that’s 23.5 whole days away. Michi’s...just barely not useless as a familiar. She knows stuff but her tidiness levels leave much to be desired. She’s super hands on however and has no fear of getting dirty or messy, so she makes an excellent scientist so long as someone else writes the results. Lyon teaches her witch lab safety, about 72% of it takes and he calls it a win because he’s never smiled so much or eaten so many square meals a day, at reasonable hours.
On her end, Michi (who sometimes is a dog, bc shapeshifter Michi yes pls) didn’t intend to linger for like, the witch’s whole life the way some familiars do but she gets all gooey the more time they spend together. She always thought being a familiar was basically being someone’s pet, and she was willing to give it a try ONCE but the fact she likes having a partner to work with surprise her.
who’s the barista and who’s the coffee addict
Barista Michi and coffee addict Lyon. She genuinely thinks she’s serving him into an early grave via cardiac arrest but what can she do. Has a habit of doodling on the name card thingies when it’s slow and Lyon only comes in when it’s slow, so he has to pretend not to be charmed by her increasingly detailed cup art. Michi flirts like mad and it goes over his head and so she assumes it won’t go anywhere and tbh this is Peak Coffee Shop AU. There is no drama at all, everyone’s just running around being mid 20s assholes.
Eventually however it revealed that Lyon used to not be that much of a coffee drinker but he kept making excuses to see the cute barista at the nearby coffee place and whoops he thinks he might need to switch to decaf. Michi suggests maybe a calming fruit tea is even better.
who’s the professor and who’s the TA
Professor Lyon, ofc, and he’s 100% that prof who only “teaches” a class because they make him. Michi is the TA who makes class not boring, and being in her lab is the BEST lab to be in bar none, since they’re probably in biology for this to work for Michi. She likes Lyon, but she feels a bit underappreciated and Lyon definitely spends this story wooing his TA back after she leaves him and he realizes the hole in his life has nothing to do with having to pick up all that work she did and everything to do with Michi being not intolerable.
who’s the knight and who’s the prince(ss)
Prince Lyon has been presented with the ultimatum that he must marry Or Else. Prince Lyon tried to argue Or Else is not an ultimatum, but he was overruled. Lady Knight Michi is there to corral/protect the presented bridal options. Naturally, he and Michi end up having a quiet night when he spots her reading and they talk about books and his lil heart gets all aflutter.
Michi is naturally super resistant to marrying a prince - it’s not what’s done and she HATES princessy stuff, her little brother being born was the best day of her life if you ask her. When it becomes clear Lyon’s not going to be marrying any of the potential options, things get dicey but Michi turns back at the last moment and she pulls some “I can’t marry you but I can promise to be with you forever” and Lyon’s like “perfect I abdicate” and the monarchy is in shambles but true love carries on.
who’s the teacher and who’s the single parent
Variation time! Lyon’s a suffering high school teacher who’s Alarmed when, during a PT event he meets Michi there as a guardian to one of his students – but it turns out both her parents died the summer before she was to leave for university and she’s been taking care of her younger sibling since then. Michi’s siblings is struggling a bit, but they’re a good kid and so Lyon and Michi end up chatting a lot trying to help Sib out.
One thing leads to another, and Michi nopes out for a hot sec in panic about what this means for her sibling but they have a familial heart to heart and then she has to go apologize to a rather frosty Lyon. It works out, because Michi’s not traditionally charming but she’s hella charismatic and she has no shame whatsoever.
who’s the writer and who’s the editor
A THIRD RECLUSE LYON FOR YOU. Michi’s an editor to some paper he writes to on occasion but it’s mostly Letters to the Editor, and they end up in a weird penpal scenario. I don’t have anything else, clearly they meet somehow, and Lyon probably also publishes research but Michi doesn’t know about that stuff and just knows him as the kinda crabby but very smart guy who tells off bigots from the last issue and stuff.
They eventually meet in person because of the research - a friend of Michi’s drags her to some academic Thing as a plus one and somehow Lyon has a friend in this setting who made him come (or maybe Dean Falon made credible threats) and Michi and Lyon slowly start to talk and realize “HEY IT’S YOU”.
TL:DR most modern AUs are just Michi making Lyon leave the house

I wanna ask SO MANY of the courting questions... Um, pick any of these that sound fun? 2, 15, 17, 26, 29 for Sabine and/or Xan, and 7, 18, 19 for Xan? (Ack so many I hope that's okay!)
*BUSTS THRU THE WALL LIKE THE KOOL-AID MAN BC I WILL NEVER TIRE OF THAT JOKE*
Hello yes did someone call me to ramble at length abt my OCs bc I sure AS HECK will~!!
83
So first Sabine, because she is my love and I miss her a bit~
Sabine
2. ♥ When they have a crush on someone, how do they let them know?
She’s very much naturally flirtatious with pretty much everyone, so you may not notice at first when you specifically are the object of her affections. (It also doesn’t help that she has a habit of calling everyone things like ‘darling’ and ‘my sweet’) To cure this, she may take you aside in some group setting and give you a very elegant and well-phrased confession, or she may send you a letter (carried by someone of absolute discretion) that can leave no doubt to her feelings.
15. ♥ Do they enjoy talking to their partners before going to sleep or is it straight to dreamland?
Yes! Sabine loves this. She loves to be close and warm and cozy, talking about simple things from her day or yours. She likes, too, the sweet heartfelt conversations that come about under the cover of blankets and darkness. This is one of her favorite things.
17. ♥ What sort of characteristics or quirks draw them to someone?
She definitely likes extroverted and occasionally outlandish people (no surpise there I mean). She also is much more at ease with people who have casual manners; she can do the etiquette thing but she kind of hates it. While she does like gregarious people, she also has a thing for quiet brood-y types, intellectuals even, because it amuses her to play the foil to them. It amuses her to blur the lines between where play-acting as a silly creature of comfort ends and her real self begins.
26. ♥ What do they love most about their significant other?
8DDD
What Sabine loves about Zarad is the depth of his inner self, which she wonders if even she will ever reach the bottom of, and how much steel his true self is made of. She admires his sense of integrity, his adherence to his own convictions. She admires his sensitivity even when he does his best to hide it behind barbed walls.
And she certainly has begun to admire his taste in women, especially after the MM feast. :>>>
29. ♥ How do they express their love to their partner?
Sabine is very attentive. She likes to make sure of the little domestic things: your favorite food, your clothes in favorite colors, your tea the way you like it, etc etc. She adores gift-giving and does her best to be thoughtful about her gifts. She goes super overboard on gift-giving holidays, and throws the best birthday parties.
She’s also good at dropping subjects or giving you space if you need it. She likes to be close and give tactile comfort frequently.
-
Xan
17. ♥ What sort of characteristics or quirks draw them to someone?
She definitely likes when people are fun, are witty, have a wicked sense of sarcasm, etc. She also is drawn to people who have some sort of inner strength; a strong will no matter how the person chooses to exercise it.
26. ♥ What do they love most about their significant other?
Xan loves how soft and devoted Asra is. She loves that his feelings run deep, and she is kind of in awe about his sensitivity– she thinks he is much stronger than her in that respect and she hopes she can work to be worthy of it. She loves his sense of humor, and loves the way he takes care of her.
Xan loves that Julian just wears his heart on his sleeve and it makes her want to protect him so badly. She love his goofiness and his penchant for drama, and she loves to tease him. She loves how he can just turn it on and she’ll know that what’s in his eyes is absolutely what he means. She loves that he finds it so easy to fall.
7. ♥ How do they feel about polygamy?
:D
Answered mostly here, but the gist is that (purely by coincidence I swear) Xan came from a polyam family. Her father is deceased, but her two mothers are still alive. I imagine growing up teenage-Xan was determined not to be like her family, and was imagining her future as monogamous. But oh no, here we are with two wonderful specimens of yes please.
I will say that jealousy is incredibly distasteful to her; what goes on in one relationship belongs to that relationship, and shouldn’t have an impact on another if every member of the arrangement is in agreement and knows what they’re getting into. If jealousy does arise, she sees it as someone not having their needs met, and that needs to be discussed.
19. ♥ What was their first impression about their partner/person they are courting?
Hmm. This one’s kind of difficult for Asra, isn’t it? Because we don’t really know what the situation was when they /really/ first met, right? But if it’s taken from the point when the apprentice was coming around from the memory loss, then I imagine Xan wasn’t in any state to make concrete judgments about anything or anyone. But I’m sure those first impressions of Asra’s soothing voice and being held by him left a definite feeling of comfort and security.
Julian– Xan was pissed! She chucked that bottle at him so hard. The second go around tho, after she had cooled down, she would’ve been mostly curious about everything that was going on, and 100% willing to see what sort of person he was. Also, there is zero doubt in my mind that Xan actually took his offer to feel him up, shoved him through the door of the tavern just before things got too hot and heavy, and told him to buy her a drink.
Thank you for letting me talk at length abt my babies ~~

Tangential Prompt Requests!
Inspired by @alexanderlightweight's "Writing Wednesday" I am opening up my askbox for requests! With the usual caveat that whatever I come up with may bear very little resemblance to whatever you thought you had in mind.
(Or, as I have previously put it when making things: the voices in my head are smarter than I am, and they do NOT tell me what they're doing, so we all get whatever we get and can be surprised together!)
Feel free to ask about any of my published fic, or request new ones. You may cruise my #prompt requests tag for ideas if you'd like, just be sure to tell me which meme if applicable. If you're a relatively recent follower/lurker my writing tag is #jilly writes and my ao3 is here.
I am accepting:
Writing Prompts!
Questions regarding: lore, worldbuilding, headcanons, OC's etc. (I do have a specific SH meta tag, #my sh rambling, but for all the rest it's just kind of... somewhere? 🍀)
Fanmix/Podfic requests (LMK if you need more clarification on that one.)
Primary Fandoms:
Shadowhunters: I tend to write Malec, and I probably won't write either Alec or Magnus with someone else, but I enjoy the entire extended (TV) cast so feel free to go wild.
BioWare: Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Jade Empire
Secondary Fandoms are too numerous to list and include an eclectic range of books/TV shows/movies/video games. Feel free to ask about anything, especially if you've seen me flail about it here or post something on ao3/spotify. I will enjoy the question, even if don't have an opinion, promise!
If you'd like some suggestions about stuff I'm currently working on?
Highlights From The Unending WIP List of Doom™️
#apples vs oranges (not on AO3 yet) A Malec a/b/o story with Nephilim!wings and weird lore and fantasy politics. (Yeah, I will eventually manage a better blurb for that.)
d.c. al coda: DA2 epilogue(s) (Adelaide Hawke/Sebastian Vael)
they have hung my heart with a sunset reasonably canon compliant Shadowhunters epilogue with Inquisitor Alec Lightwood & High Warlock of Alicante Magnus Bane in Alicante
Floralegia: Weaver Shepard from Mass Effect (original trilogy, f!shenko, earthborn, war hero, paragon, nerd, etc.)
clizzy!AU a very much not canon compliant Shadowhunters epilogue where-in they are all still in NYC and also eventually I will get Clary & Izzy to make out. Hopefully.
Anything 7KPP!
mer!Alec
Sagacious Zu/Spirit Monk (#Icy Yaling) from Jade Empire
I have discovered, these last few weeks, that I am kind of terrible at doing one-shot scenes anymore, even though I used to write them all the time. So I may write several fills and make sure I know how they go together before I start posting. If you're ever curious whether I got your prompt, or what the status is, feel free to ask and I'll check. ❤️

Ask meme: #6 from the last three you posted and #4 from one more. I didn't look this up so gl hope the questions don't suck
The Happy Fic Writer Ask Game
Describe what you do and your feelings after posting a chapter. (For example: When do you usually post a fic/chapter update? How do you celebrate a posting? Are you the type to refresh constantly?, etc.)
It depends on the story, really. Usually, I will copy over the text of the chapter from whatever text editor I was using, and then hit preview and do a quick proofread, for formatting as well as typos. If I'm posting anonymously, e.g. to a DW meme, that's usually it. And then I try to distract myself from the nervous F5 dance. If I'm posting to AO3, I'll save as a draft and do at least one more read-through for small errors. Sometimes on my phone, which helps me catch more mistakes.
WIP-Centric Ask the Writer!
6) What is the most frequent emotion in this story?
Ah, for the readers or for the characters? I'll answer for BFS.
I think for readers I'd like the dominant emotion to be curiosity, and that seems to be working well for me. For the characters… tenderness, I suppose. Tenderess ahead of trust, because the relationship in BFS works in reverse. First comes marriage, then comes getting to know each other, heh.
Gemstone themed Writeblr asks
Emerald: Which of your characters is hardest to write?
I would say that I struggle more with characters that I write rarely, like Christabel and Periwinkle, both 7KPP OCs. Partly because I haven't written them as much, and so their backgrounds and their families aren't as well developed, and so that creates a kind of cycle. And partly because the narration of the game gives their backgrounds a very strong, very decided voice, which does not entirely agree with my vision of them. Christabel especially was written a little against type.
Fanfic Ask Game (the movie, the sequel)
👀 Do you have any WIPs that you would never let see the light of day? If yes, what are they about?
Yikes. Well. Hmm.
I have daydreams about alternate universes for some of my OCs, ones that I don't intend to put to paper. And I have a folder of unfinished stories that won't ever reach posting status, like D&F stories that I wrote to flesh out certain background details, but which don't themselves make for very good reading.
I also have a little self-indulgent fic for someone else's work in progress, lol. But It doesn't really agree with what would eventually be "canon", and I don't think anyone would enjoy reading it but me. I do enjoy it a lot, though.

Writing meme! Before the beginning or POV!
How about both? This is for 7kpp, my Hise Pirate Kyara, who winds up with Zarad.
BEFORE THE BEGINNING — three sentences (or more) about something that happened before the plot of my current project
I think a lot about Kyara’s origin story outside of what we’re given in the game, but I haven’t really written down much of my thoughts. Here’s a little:
Papa wasn’t ill, but his heartache was almost like an illness, wearing at him, stealing away his vitality and life. I knew he’d never stop me from leaving, the sea was as much a part of me as it was Mama, but just one look at him made me wish I could forget the sea. I straightened my dress and smiled over my teacup at him, getting his grin in return, and I wished I’d never ever set foot on a ship.
POV — something that’s already happened, retold from another character’s perspective
This is leading up to this scene, I suppose, not quite a complete rewrite of it. Zarad’s perspective is here: Stuck
The lattice wasn’t going to get her down, and she’d stained her dress. Kyara could probably make the jump down, if she tucked and rolled, but her dress definitely wouldn’t. This was the kind of behavior the matchmaker would certainly look down upon, and she didn’t even want to think about Jasper’s reaction if he found out.
She would just have to chance it, unless there was another way of getting off the top of this gazebo that she was missing.
She was a pirate. Situations on the sea changes with the wind, that was the very nature of it. As she scanned around the area, Kyara was struck by how few options she had. With a toe, she pushed at the lattice she’d climbed up again, confirming that it had separated from the top of the gazebo. If she went down it, she’d likely crash to the ground taking the splintered lattice with her.
Was it worth it just to find out that Falon and the matchmaker had slept together? General Falon, of all people, hadn’t seemed the type, but everyone had secrets. She wanted to curse the fact that she was stuck up here, but she certainly thought the information had been worth the risk. She closed her eyes and thought about how to best brace for the fall when salvation came. Kyara had the feeling that he’d come looking for her, the suspicion confirmed when he called out for her after checking around the gazebo a few times.
“Kyara?” Zarad called, and she stomped a little to draw him out of the gazebo. When he appeared around the side, looking up at her, he was smiling.
She loved and hated his smile in that moment, but couldn’t help returning it. “Zarad, please help me down!”

24. Children – future
Ok, this is great, I love babbling about my babies. Therefore, you may already have met them from my 7KPP week day 7 entry, but hell, I’m gonna spill so much information alright. Have a cut
Clara always wanted a big family, since she didn’t exactly have one, but at the same time she has always been afraid of becoming much like her mother and treating her children wrongly, so she’s been on the fence about whether to have children or not. However, now she has Jasper and she loves him very much and wishes to make a family with him.
Hamilton, their first child was born in the year of Clara’s first Summit in the Vail Isle(not as a delegate, more fulfilling Katyia’s shoes), she was two/three months pregnant with him and didn’t know, dismissing the morning sickness for just that. It was only when the Matchmaker commented on her growing belly that Clara actually realized what was going on. She knew that the wise thing to do was to tell Jasper, but knowing him it would only lead to the butler worrying way longer about her than his delegate that Summit. So she waited until the last day of the Summit(already showing a bit) to tell him. Jasper was numb for a long time, he couldn’t exactly see himself as a father, the possibility had never crossed his mind. It took him a whole week to finally realize it was happening and Clara needed all the support she could get on top of a stressful situation such as the Summit. They go through it(even all the mood swings and crazy cravings) and by the end of that year they had a boy who they named Hamilton.
Ham, as his mother calls him, has his mother’s brown hair and green eyes, but his father’s pale skin(which blushes so easily). As a child, Hamilton was always quiet, serious and diligent. Jasper mostly made it his mission to tutor his kid(his kid!) and Clara loved him with every fiber of her being, helping him when he had a hard time with other children, who’d mock him or when Jasper wasn’t around he always went to her with questions.
Percival, their second child, was born one year later. He was an energetic child, but still very polite and never a troublemaker. Percy was never one for the events of History, but rather for living in the moment. He’s always been very talkative and therefore friends with almost everybody(even managing to melt the Matchmaker’s stone heart) and even though he’s very social, Percival has always been a good listener and is proud of it.
He inherited his father’s white hair, but his mother’s brown skin and green eyes.
Adelaide’s pregnancy was a bit bumpy. With Clara’s second Summit in the Vail Isle coming closer(Addie being two years younger than Percy), a lot of stress was involved and she started having a few issues with the pregnancy to the point she thought her baby would die. Giving birth to Adelaide was no easy task either, with Clara almost dying because of it(cue to worrywart Jasper). She got better and had her first daughter and last child.
Adelaide since very young has always been very adventurous, daring and a free spirit. Constantly worrying her father, constantly getting in trouble around the Isle. She was their first child to be born with Jasper’s violet eyes, but resembling Clara a lot. Because she is the third daughter, Addie just generally feels like she doesn’t belong to her family, as Percy is following in his mother’s footsteps and Hamilton’s following in on his father’s, there is just nothing left for her to do, right?
Fun facts about this family:
- Addie is the best fighter of the family, after Jasper, of course;
- Clara is the shortest person in the family being 5’2” and Addie, the second shortest, being 5”6;
- Hamilton is a huge nerd;
- He is very passionate about History
- But he also likes the Natural Sciences, but that ends up being a passion he doesn’t pursue because of his desire to follow in his father’s footsteps;
- Percival cannot stand still for the life of him, because of this he is rarely interested in books;
- Jasper tutors all of his kids, without exception and he is quite strict;
- Percival doodles a lot during his studies;
- Addie barely pays attention but somehow seems to absorb some things;
- Hamilton pays the utmost attention, takes notes, reviews them after(love him);
- Hamilton is the most organized out of all of the three siblings;
- Addie is a human disaster;
- Percival is somewhere in between those two;
- Clara manages her household like she manages her delegates;
- She is the problem solver;
- Also everyone loves her so much;
- Jasper loves his wife and would do anything for her really(within sense of course);
- Hamilton has a very strong emotional bond with his mother;
- Whenever he had a nightmare when little, they would sneak out and stargaze;
- She would sing to him until he fell asleep, then she would take him back to the house;
- When he got older, Hamilton realized how much pressure was put on both of his parents, so he stopped telling them about when he had issues with anything(such as nightmares) as not to worry them;
- Percival loves his mother;
- He looks up to his mother so much;
- She is his hero because she’s just like Katyia and he just loves that so much;
- I mean, his mother practically runs the Summit;
- When he is old enough, Percy becomes Clara’s unofficial assistant;
- Later she maker him her official apprentice;
- Addie’s relationship with her mother is a bit complicated;
- She can’t understand how her mother is so patient and sometimes that makes her mad for no reason;
- Her mother is constantly handling people who don’t recognize her true value;
- How is she not angry about that?
- Addie has a strong connection with her mother though;
- Loves her hugs;
- Family dinners are the best.
- Adelaide’s free spirited nature and Hamilton’s more serious one often clash;
- When I say often I mean always;
- They fight over everything and anything;
- Much more when they are older;
- Particularly when Addie becomes a butler like Hamilton;
- Then everything is a competition;
- For Addie, Hamilton just wants to be perfect;
- For Hamilton, Addie just wants to take away their father’s love from him;
- Percival is just so done;
- He tries to get his siblings to agree with each other;
- It’s the hardest thing ever;
- He manages sometimes;
In the end these five are a very tight and supportive family, even if some of them argue sometimes(cof cof Addie and Ham cof cof), even then, whenever someone has a problem.
I love them so much <3
